1.8 Routing Basics
1.8.1 Selecting Inputs & Outputs ...................................................
All channel input, output, insert send and insert return routing is done via routing displays, accessed via the dark grey routing
buttons in the channel Setup and Output displays (shown below for an Input channel’s input).
Note that multi-channel signals are routed individually, and then collected together as a "Multi Channel" as
described in the SD Software Reference manual
To access Channel Input Setup, touch the top of an input channel display on the touchscreen.
To access Channel Output Setup, touch the bottom of any channel type's display on the touchscreen.

Within each display, there are three columns containing three levels of routing selection:
- The left-hand column contains the available ports within which the desired input or output might be located;
- The middle column, signal groups, then shows the available groups of inputs or outputs within that port;
- The right-hand column, signals, then displays the individual inputs or outputs available within that signal group.
The boxes in each column are lit blue to indicate that they are currently selected. If there is already a routing assigned within the
display, the port and signal group columns containing the current assignment will be half-lit.
Each output can only have one channel routed to it. The outputs that are currently in use by another channel display in blue text. If
you attempt to route a different channel to an output which is already in use, a confirmation box appears, indicating which channel
is already using it, and warning that continuing with the action will cause the old channel to be derouted from this output. Press
Yes to proceed, No to cancel.
Note that when routing direct outs from Input channels or outputs from output channels, any number of
available signals can be selected. A new route selection will therefore be added to previous selections in
these cases. However, inputs, insert sends and insert returns can only route to/from one signal (in the case of
mono channels) or two signals (in the case of stereo channels). A new route selection will therefore result in
the previous selection being lost for inputs and insert sends and returns.
For stereo channels, left and right routes are presumed to be consecutive: When routing stereo signals, select the left route, and
the next signal in the list will be automatically selected as the right route. If the last signal in a signal group or port is selected as
the left route, the first signal in the following signal group or port will selected as the right route.
Note: If Waves is enabled, a Waves port will be displayed. See the relevant appendix for more details.
